Hello Jean-Louis,

Most of the defense systems of the fruit are in its skin. And a lot of
micro-organisms live on it. So the body gets a lot of new 'information'
when one eats the skin of a fruit. And the instinctive stop comes sooner.

I, too, decide if I want to eat the skin depending on my instinct. If
the skin smells and tastes well, I will eat it.

BTW: This is my first post in this list. Stefan Joest recommended it to
me. It looks very interesting!
